Hi there! I am a TV reporter and current traveling journalist working my way around the world. Currently just made a spontaneous move to Hawaii. I’m a huge mermaid, love the beach and scuba dive, snorkel and free dive. Also love nature, hikes, wildlife, adventuring, trying anything once and dancing up a storm. As a TV reporter I have a lot of photography experience and love taking pictures and videos. I enjoy meeting and getting to know locals and local parts of town when I travel. I love animals and offer pet sitting and dog sitting for a place to stay when traveling!

I’m a teacher and I’m getting ready for my first solo trip to Australia. Then I’ll travel for 6 months around New Zealand and SE Asia.

Honolulu was a really busy place, it as pretty expensive and a bit lonely for a solo trip. I think being on my own wasn’t maybe the best as a lot of men would come up to me on the street and ask me out. At first it seemed ok but it really wasn’t and I realised that the American culture is kinda superficial so everyone seems really nice at first but it was not very safe. During the day it felt very safe but at night it was not great walking alone, I found it hard to make friends with other women here but very easy to find men who wanted to date, it was honestly a bit much sometimes and I often felt like it was unsafe to say no. An a non-American it took me a bit of time to realise what the culture was around this, I didn’t love it.
Posted: November 25, 2024I felt very safe in Honolulu! I was with my partner but either way I would feel completely safe solo travelling. We walked around early in the morning and late at night, and stayed slightly off the beaten path. A fair amount of homeless people in some spots, but they did not approach me. We took a bus to diamond head and it was completely reliable and safe.
